I was just assuming a yard glass of milkshake next to a yard glass of beer. Not sure the image went away when it became clear the author intended a suburban yard.

At least so far Samsung is letting me disable Gemini, as I try to do to any bloatware I don't want running in the background.

As I expected from the initial hype.

Let's just realize that these are not what make a good unique game:

• Minecraft but better
• Minecraft but not Java

Many games of course have minecraft like elements, that work, they just do try to be their own things:

• FortressCraft Evolved: Voxel factory game with tower defence elements
• Colony Survival: Voxel building game where you protect and grow a colony

Moving away from games with Voxel building for those that "want better graphics" you have games like

• Valheim - build/adventure.
• ARK: Survival Evolved - build/adventure/poop jokes (sorry never got into the game the let's play poop jokes got old for me)

Also might add there are minecraft aspects to the 2d games, but most have unique gameplay as well

Factorio Stardew Valley Terraria - I really should like this.. But every time I try it I don't

None of these are "Minecraft killers" because while they may allow for some sandbox play they are unique games. Same for some others I see in this thread.

Sure you have Luanti as well if you want to make a highly modded minecraft like, or just other voxel game to play test, and maybe prove why its better. But it never tried to replace minecraft.

It's better not to equate the two parties of the USA to the parties in a parliamentary system it's a different beast.

The Democrats are the coalition of the left of center interest groups of the current time, and Republicans the coalition of the right of center interest groups of the current time.

These groups are more the parties of the parliamentary system and run candidates in the primaries of their respective parties, and possibly as independent from time to time (particularly when they feel a bit pushed out of the main parties). Also they push these candidates at all levels (local, state, congress ect)

I would love some sort of rank choice/instant runoff ballots to make more choices easier in the voting lineup, however those who are pushing for third parties without trying to run local politicians or promoting policies ect will likely not succeed in that system either.

80% of the time I do this with the button that revokes all other privileges too: "uninstall"

Don't worry the full mindset is: work 60h/week until you train your replacement.. The AI..

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I hate the term "Genocide Joe":

• it doesn't put enough fault on Netanyahu
• its an in group term, if you are in the group you know what it means, if not its either has no meaning, or is taken too literally/incorrectly.
• The middle east is a mess, we make it worse in every attempt to improve it, but some of those religiously using this phrase I don't think want peace, just wish a different group was winning. This is a small subset of those using the phrase, but seem to be driving the political outcome by an oversized amount.

See the expression should be Netanyahu is treating the Palestinians like Hitler did the Jews. So why are we [Joe/Harris] so blindly following this.

And I know the political answer to this is Joe/Harris were trying to use there position for political pressure.. I'd say it failed but they did get a last min ceasefire, so history may prove otherwise.

See now it's saving 20 million /s

I do wonder how much this has changed:

But I'm tired of those on here thinking the Democrats need to become the "progressive left" when that is not who the Democratic party represents.. Or let's be clear it's only a small but loud fraction of it, that keeps threatening on leaving.

That said I'm not sold trying to go after the "populist right" was the right Move, stick to centrist working class.

Of course if the far left didn't vote.. The party is stuck moving even more to the right .. So.. We will see.

What would interest me more is a "party" of leftist that:

• provides people to local town/county elections (and further up as it gains success)
• promotes democrats that fit their views (AOC for example) note this is not running as a third party, just promoting those that exist
• dosnt run against other stron democrats in the larger races, president in particular this is a central roll elect someone that will help get your policies in place.

More important promote, explain, and teach the pogressive policies and how it will help people, and be willing to debate pros/cons of other ideas. This exists I feel, but not on this echo chamber..

Coffee grows on Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and recently in a little bit in CA (to add to water problems)

But Labor + limited amounts means it won't be cheaper

I would need to know what US state [if any] you are registerer to vote in to look up what your primary options were. And how you might have used it best to state an opinion.

In NJ:

We did have the uncommited option (got 9%, nearly the rest to Biden at the time, you could have also written in any other elegable person) However we also had a senate race:

In the democratic primary senator race, the results were (aprox) 9% for Lawrence Hamm 16% for Patricia Campos-Medina 75% for Andy Kim

If you want the US to be less involved with the Netanyahu government Kim was the worse of the three.

And this decision (ie who will be in the senate, driving laws) makes a huge difference in the party wide policy, that is the primary policy Biden (now Harris) is following.. Since the president is inherently a centrist roll. (Ie center of those the people elect, this can of course shift left/right/up/down/ect with the electorate)

Is the system perfect no.. (but posts on instant runnoff voting, or ranked choice will make the post a book, and they are not yet the system in play, last these systems would really only help reiterate the signal the primaries give.. It would be still someone in the center of the electorate at the top.. And if we are lucky more parties)

Not sure I agree republicans are worse off (as much as I might wish they were.)

But hopefully Kamala Harris picks a good running mate and with them gives a proper voice and direction to the party. (My concers aside I want to see the government work for the best interests of the people at the end of the day.. And not for specific groups of people, or corporate interests. (And this includes calling out business owners when they put their business of any size over the needs of the people and community)
